Anyone know the clamp sizes used on the hot side CAC?

I'd like to order a new set of boots from RiffRaff but the site is absolutely no help in matching the proper clamps to boots.

Turbo boot is 2.75" clamps and intercooler hose is 1- 3" and 1- 3.25".

There isn't a 3" option on the clamps order page.

The boot kit didn't specify it came with clamps, and they aren't pictured with the boot kit either, so I assumed they had to be ordered separately. I don't really want to use my old ones other than for doubling up.

I was actually looking at the Hot Side kit, from the link provided by zhilton on page one of this thread:

Riffraff Diesel: RDP CAC Intercooler "Hot Side" Boot Kit

But, if the complete CAC boot kit comes with all the clamps, it's a better deal, and probably worth doing all the boots at once.

Our kits dont include clamps as they aren't usually needed.

Sorry, I meant 2 - 2.75", 1 - 3.25", 1 - 3.5" on the hot side. Cold side would be 4 - 3.25" clamps.

Thanks for the follow up, order placed. You might want to consider adding a side note to your CAC boot order pages indicating which clamps would be needed, and that they are not included. Better yet, offer a package deal that includes them. It certainly would have my order a bit easier. Looking forward to receiving them.

Not a problem, it's a marginal expense in the grand scheme of things. Time to start saving for that CCV reroute now to end this issue.
